Reviews

  • It’s impossible not to root for Eva as she learns to trust her instincts and her own feelings. Teen readers fascinated by religious cults will be drawn in by Eva’s story.

    - Booklist

  • Fixmer, a therapist who has counseled former religious cult members, has written a taut psychological drama with believable and sympathetic characters. The first-person narrative sustains a tense mood throughout.

    - School Library Journal

  • Fixmer’s references to C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books persuasively contrast the image of a loving god against the harshness of Reverend Ezekial in this absorbing and smartly paced novel.

    - Publishers Weekly

  • The action and the psychological realism combine to make an intriguing story, with believable characters and events. An absorbing treatment of a fascinating subject.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • Fixmer presents a fascinating inside look at daily life in a religious cult in this suspenseful coming-of-age story. Readers learn of the psychology that compels continued membership despite the demanding lifestyle.
